I don't have much reference to provide here. Most books I read are total bummers.

I have read two funny books ever. First one is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy whose humour I appreciated. The second one is Good Soldier Svejk which I thought was alright.

Any thoughts? Thank you.

    the rest of the hitchhikers guide series if you haven't already, and/or dirk gently

    if you're okay with darker themes, but still funny, the works of kurt vonnegut, and jacob heller's catch-22 are good

    if you can get into the older stuff, maybe some mark twain? idk

      Love Vonnegut, and his stuff usually is pretty funny, but I hardly think much of it qualifies as "not a bummer" lol.

        yeah I added a caveat for that reason. wasnt sure if OP was open to darker humor or not, since he didnt specify
